System state restore incomplete - programs cannot be started 0xc0000142

Question

Hi all,

&nbsp;

I am trying to restore a system to a different physical server which has the same hardware for test purposes.&nbsp;

I followed this manual: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH56473.html

Unfortunately the restore of the volumes were partially successful and the System State restore was incomplete with the following error message:

"1: (2808) Windows File System policy restore error"

The server boots normally but I can't open some programs like cmd.exe and I get this error message:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with or how I can solve this problem?

&nbsp;

NetBackup BMR does not have to implement DHCP, it just requires (in some confiiguration scenarios) the presence of a DHCP server - but not in all configuration scenarios.

You can still use BMR without having to use PXE and BOOTP protocols, and instead just use a BMR SRT ISO, and you can create/follow your own&nbsp;BMR client recovery process/procedure (set of steps) which does not even require DHCP at any stage - and only ever requires TCP/1556 just like any normal backup client for backup/restore purposes.

.

See Jaime's excellent introductory procedures for BMR:

.

FYI - the NetBackup 7.6 Blueprint for BMR can be found by following links here:

Is the hardware exactly the same? &nbsp;I mean, same model of hardware, same motherboard revision, same BIOS version, same vendor firmware, same HBAs in same slots with same HBA BIOS and firmware, and same NIC firmware etc... Anything which is even slightly different is considered a disimilar recovery.

I think one of the key points in that TN is this: &nbsp; "Most of the time using the following steps the way it is, will result in good bootable system."

...which implies not always. &nbsp;If you have an old and mature OS instance which has had lots of changes and upgrades and install, and uninstalls, and domain membership and GPO pushed to it, and who knows what manner of third party software installed on it, well this probably makes it more difficult.

.

Is there a back story as to why you are having to attempt this?

If you are testing, then is there a reason for not using NetBackup BMR? &nbsp;It's free to use.

Oh - and the usual question of... Windows OS and SP and NetBackup Client version and patch level?

felix_nguyen · Answer

Both servers belong to the same serie and are actually the same model. They were bought at the same time. So both of them should be very similar to each other.

I can't use NBU BMR due to the fact that we have another OS deployment software (Altiris) in the network. They will interfere with each other if I try to use BMR which uses DHCP.

NBU Server 7.6.0.4: Master and media server are the same system.

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit

NBU Client: 7.6.0.1

The 0xc0000142 error can be caused by heap exhaustion.

There is an old technote https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH48099.html&nbsp; about a similar issue albeit on the backup server.

Thanks for your help.

@sdo: BMR helped to get the restore done. :)

@Michael G Andersen: I knew this technote but unfortunately that couldn'd solve the problem.
